In solitudine cordisB

Esto sertis implicataC
femina delicataC
Per quam solvuntur peccataC

Sicut beneficum LetheD
Hauriam oscula de teC
Quae imbuta es magneteC

Quum vitiorum tempegtasB
Turbabat omnes semitasB
Apparuisti DeitasB

Velut stella salutarisB
In naufragiis amarisB
Suspendam cor tuis arisB
-
Piscina plena virtutisB
Fons tern juventutisB
Labris vocem redde mutisB
-
Quod erat spurcum cremastiC
Quod rudius exaequastiC
Quod debile confirmastiC

In fame mea tabernaE
In nocte mea lucernaE
Recte me semper gubernaE

Adde nunc vires viribusB
Dulce balneum suavibusB
Unguentatum odoribusB

Meos circa lumbos micaF
O castitatis loricaF
Aqua tincta seraphicaF

Patera gemmis coruscaF
Panis salsus mollis escaF
Divinum vinum FranciscaF

In Praise of My FrancesB
-
I'll sing to you on a new noteC
O young hind that gambols gailyC
In the solitude of my heartC
-
Be adorned with wreaths of flowersB
O delightful womanE
By whom our sins are washed awayG
-
As from a benign LetheD
I shall drink kisses from youH
Who were given a magnet's strengthD
-
When a tempest of vicesB
Was sweeping down on every pathD
You appeared O divinityC
-
Like the star of salvationE
Above a disastrous shipwreckF
I shall place my heart on your altarI
-
Reservoir full of virtueH
Fountain of eternal youthD
Restore the voice to my mute lipsB
-
You have burned that which was filthyC
Made smooth that which was roughJ
Strengthened that which was weakF
-
In my hunger you are the innE
In the darkness my lampK
Lead me always on virtue's pathD
-
Add your strength now to my strengthD
Sweet bath scentedC
With pleasant perfumesB
-
Shine forth from my loinsB
O cuirass of chastityC
That was dipped in seraphic waterI
-
Cup glittering with precious stonesB
Bread seasoned with salt delectable dishL
Heavenly wine My FrancesB

Praises of My FrancescaF
-
-
Verses to a learned and devout MillinerI
-
-
Upon new chords of you I singF
And the new born bud you bringF
From solitude the pure heart's SpringF
-
Your brows should be with garlands twinedC
Woman of delightful mindC
Who our trespasses unbindC
-
As the wondrous balm of LetheD
Through thy kisses I will breathe theeD
All are magnetised who see theeD
-
When my vices wild and stormyD
From my wonted courses bore meD
It was You appeared before meD
-
Star of Oceans you that alterI
Courses when the pilots falterI
Take my heart upon your altarI
-
Cistern full of virtuous ruthD
Fountain of eternal youthD
Give to dumbness speech and truthD
-
What was dirty you crematedC
What uneven you equatedC
What was weak you re createdC
-
Inn on the hungry roads I trampK
And in the dark a guiding lampK
To steer the lost one back to campK
-
To my strength add strength O sweetC
Bath where scents and unguents meetC
Anoint me for some peerless featC
-
Holy water most seraphicF
On the lusts in which I trafficF
Flash your chastity ecstaticF
-
Bowl of gems where radiance dancesB
Salt that the holy bread enhancesB
And sacred wine your name is FrancesB
-
-
Translated by Roy CampbellM

Francescae Meae LaudesB
-
I shall sing new chords O hindC
As you gambol unconfinedC
Through my solitary mindC
-
Rest adorned with wreaths of flowersB
Comely woman whose vast powersB
Wash away these sins of oursB
-
As from Lethe's stream I shallN
Drink your kisses one and allO
Magnet like and magicalM
-
When our vices stormilyM
Swept down every path with gleeM
You approved O DeityM
-
Like the bright star of salvationE
Amid shipwreck's desolationE
Take my heart in rapt oblationE
-
Source of every good and storeI
Of eternal youth restoreI
Song to my mute lips once moreI
-
What was foul you calcinatedM
What was rough you IevigatedM
What was weak you stimulatedM
-
In my hunger you the innE
In my dark the lamp and inE
Your pale hands an end to sinE
-
Add your strength to mine new sentM
Sweet bath ever redolentM
Of the suaver perfumes blentM
-
From my loins gleam radiantlyM
O cuirass of chastityM
Steeped in balm seraphicallyM
-
Cup with precious gems ashineE
Savory bread celestial wineE
Blessed food Francesca mineE
